Make Amazon Pay

Amazon is one of the most powerful corporations in history.

It is remaking how the economy works in the 21st century squeezing every last drop it can at every turn. The Amazon business model:

Squeezes workers: While tripling profits in early 2024, Amazon surveils and pressures drivers and warehouse workers at the risk of severe physical and mental harm.

Squeezes communities: While Amazon drained 2 billion US dollars from US communities to build new data centres, Jeff Bezos moved to Miami to save 600 million US dollars in taxes.

Squeezes the planet: While Amazon plans to deploy 465,000 new, energy-hungry AI servers each year, most of them won’t be powered by renewable electricity.

From Black Friday to Cyber Monday (29 November to 2 December) we are uniting across the globe to demand one thing:
Make Amazon Pay. 

We, workers and activists, will be rising up everywhere on the busiest shopping days of the year to fight Amazon’s exploitation of workers, our communities and the planet.

Our success will shape the global economy in the 21st century.

Together, we have the power to Make Amazon Pay.
Join Us.

Amazon can afford to pay, but only will if we make it.

From Black Friday to Cyber Monday (29 November to 2 December), we’re uniting across the globe to demand one thing: Make Amazon Pay. Join Us.

For Black Friday 2023, we organised strikes, protests and other actions in over 30 countries. Here's a map of them:

Make Amazon Pay.

Here's everything you need to support the campaign: leaflets, banners, posters, social media graphics and more.

The Make Amazon Pay campaign brings together over 80 organisations working towards labour, tax, climate, data and racial justice, and over 400 parliamentarians and tens of thousands of supporters from across the world. Since 2020, we have organised four global days of action on Black Friday — each time growing our planetary movement to stop Amazon squeezing workers, communities and the planet. And in October 2023, we organised our first-ever Summit to Make Amazon Pay in Manchester, UK.
